Two things to think about. The spring in the master cylinder causes the piston in the master cylinder to return to the up position when you lift your foot off the pedal and this creates a suction vice a pressure in the master cylinder that pulls the piston in the caliper back to it's resting position. Weak spring or sticking piston in the Master cylinder?? The second item deals with brake hoses. I had a brake failure in my MGB where one rear brake was dragging and would not release unless I opened the bleed valve which is hard to do while driving. I finally traced it to a problem that I had read about in a MGB club newsletter. The inner liner of the hose had deteriorated to the point where a piece was blocking the bore of the hose and was acting like a check valve. I replaced the hose and ended the problem. All of the brake hoses in my Coupe appeared to be the original hoses. All were as hard as rocks, especially the one at the master cylinder. I made new hoses. Cost is minimal and takes about 15 minutes per hose to make. $16.00 for two fittings and hose is $4.50 per foot. My A&P hydro tested the hoses for free.
